[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to answer from college admissions perspective only (because I agree that he seems like he’s made a great transition to high school and is doing well). A sport and an instrument is good on paper. He needs a community service thing, even if it’s monthly. And this summer or fall I’d take him on a low key college tour. It will seem more real and he’ll start to understand how he needs letter of recommendation and a leadership role someday. [/quote] I agree with this train of thought and would add: what is he passionate about? What does he want to study or learn more about? That may help guide his ECs. And explain to him that this is part of college admissions. He doesn’t need to do anything more but it may limit his options. [/quote]
